Decibel’s Avrudhu Top 5 & More
April is always a very special time for every Lankan, near or far cuz of The Sinhala & Tamil New Year and what would the season be without music being inspired by the sounds that’s associated with it?
Here’s our top 5 6 picks for the season (and then some more) in no order
- Flippy – Koha
Tech house producer & DJ – Flippy has been known for a few singles but ‘Koha‘ in case you didnt know was his radio debut back in 2013. Timless, good stuff with that seasonal bird sampled just right.
2. YAKA x DJ Spike: #Rabana
We haven’t come across too many singles that sample the age old ‘Avilla Avilla Sinhala Avurudda Awilla‘ or Raban’s in general but this one does and producer YAKA does a darn good job of it!
3. Shiran-Ta: Bajauwa
Some call this the perfect paduru party soundtrack, to us this is an all round celebration single from 3 years ago by another Tech house Dj & Producer.
4. Elecktro Doctors: Wattaka
This just got fresh out of the oven and we think this makes for an insta-classic for the season. Elektro Doctors are a duo to watch out for Sri Lanka!
5. RapZilla – Avrudhu Rap 6/8
This was released when he first came out to the interwebs and now, there’s even a part 2 to this..check out the first one
Part 2 FTW!
And there is a #6 thanks to one of our readers (Joshua Perera..thank you!)
Stigmata – Jazz Theory
Other notable singles, we feel would be awesome to have playing this season
Here’s one by the very cool people of Deep Sounds, who featured a few freshers from the single on this.
Pasan Liyanage, Rangana Budawattha, Harashana Wijasinghe & Sandeep Milan John – Grace Of A Tusker (opening of the YES Home Grown Awards 2015)
DuckDog: Nano
Home’s first live dubstep band sure had had a ton of good tracks out before they disbanded a few years ago, here’s one of them.
Ranidu: Dip On it / Saima Cut Wela (bailatronic mashup)
This mashup is too epic to breakdown, just listen man.
Wayo released this at the start of April!
YAKA: Yaka’s Love
Folk-sy / EDM
What else could be more unique sounding?
Samples from RIDDI YAGAYA – Rata yakuma
M18: Giren Gira
M18 are considered to be a one hit wonder, this was a big radio hit on YES101 3 years ago.
DJ Kush & Dj Edifier : Traditional Volume
Two Dj’s on a production roll – end result? this!
Insignia: When The Lights Go Down
This one man project used to make music, now though he’s busy flying planes..here’s a single from not too long ago.
Diger Rokwell – Jothipala Fever
This single cuz, just cuz!
